I caught a bass that big one time, but Grandma cooked it before we could get it weighed.

I like the tilt shift focus. Makes it look like miniature toys.

Top 5 congrats DD! Excellent water work.

Awesome image DD, should've scored higher in my opinion!

thanks everyone and Funk, your comment means more to me than a gold.

Your welcome DD!...after studying it again for a while, my eye was distracted by the blurry sky...Might have something to do with the score. Is there a particular reason you made it blurry? Other than that I can't think why it didn't score higher...

I like the way it makes the subjects pop out, 3D sort of, something to the line of what LunaC said, however it was probably not necessary. The score is actually pretty good, just didn't place. I like to mix focus sometimes like my Pierce Brosnan Pierce or Joe Walsh Joe Here it is unblurred Unblurred
